Omg I’m so sorry for leaving you hanging ;-; I can only offer the excuse of crippling school projects, but I’m back!
Dr. Stone Spoilers for most of the story
Okay so your point about him being a good leader actually opened up a can of worms in my brain. This is def kind of off topic? But I think it’s interesting so I want to write it down for my own sanity.
For a while know I’ve been coining Senkuu as a bad leader, or at least not ideal for personal writing purposes, but your comment made me rethink it. Looking at things with a fresh start, I realized Senkuu is a good leader, but not in the way I was originally imagining. (Doing my best to keep it as canon as possible) Senkuu 1. Cares deeply about people, not just his own 2. Is very strategic and thinks of the future 3. Does not want power. These 3 aspects make him a good leader, especially in the setting of Dr. Stone.
To use an analogy, He would be a very good science club leader, which is kind of what he is. He is dedicated to the craft, and can manage a small group of people with similar goals, and rather than excluding others, he encourages and fights for them to join his club of nerds.
However!
For the first part of Dr. Stone, that works fine. It’s just the Kingdom of Science and the Empire of Might. It’s like 140 people, who although need some coaxing, can work together. But once America hits and they have Zenos people how have very different ideas, and all sorts of other civilizations across the globe… people are going to have conflicting ideas. There’s always going to be Tsukasas, misguided people, and Hyogas and Homuras, people who don’t mean well and try to shape the world in their making. This is where I believe Senkuu is no longer the best choice, as I don’t think he could handle managing and keeping peace between all of these people, in addition to perusing and steam heading science projects. Obviously there’s people to help him do these things, but it’s a lot.
Many people instead make Ryusui the main leader, which is not a bad decision. He’s used to leadership and thrives in positions of power, and cares about the people around him, even if they don’t like him(most of this comes from his confidence/arrogance, but still). He is great at planning and managing people, and is decent at working with people who have different views than him. However he doesn’t really understand the differences between what people say/think they want, and what they need, and he could make bad decisions based on that misconception. In addition, Ryusui is pretty disconnected from the people around him as he had a very different upbringing, and can’t always relate to people. This makes him a caring leader, but unable to properly act this way.
Both he and Senkuu are decent leaders on their own, but still not great. In conclusion, I say the best solution is to have the 5 generals, so some other council, in charge. They balance each other’s faults, this sharing of power relieves the pressure of leading the entirety of humanity from 1 person’s shoulders.
Main tangent over lol.
I def agree about Senkuu trying to save everybody, including Tsukasa, with all of the stuff happening at the beginning of Treasure Island Arc being a lot to juggle. This means to me that his decision to give Hyoga and Homura to the “authorities”/legal system is weak evidence for him being lawful.
I feel like we’re running this thread dry, so I pose another question: How do you feel about the ending of the manga, and how would you change it? I have some strong thoughts about those last few arcs lol.
*offers microphone in one hand and a bag of chips in the other*

retouch + new profile picture!! i think she is the girl ever….
I imagined this little backstory for her where her first encounter with an alternate doppelganger was meeting a Liquid Snake-esque version of Nagito. One who as a child was the beta model for the Kamukura project in his verse, being enhanced with a prototype of the treatment that would eventually create Izuru. An Izuru v.0.5 you could say. Only he ends up rebelling, not content to just be a footnote for someone else. And he actually succeeds in killing his verse's version of Izuru after they're created (might not even have been a Hajime). Before then going on to form a little mercenary band of fellow science experiments across the multiverse.
He develops something of a fondness for his "little sister". Accepting her request to train and mold her. Admiring her determination in spite of her illnesses. Not every Nagito variant will end up with the dementia + lymphoma combo, but it's quite common for many of them to have at least some kind of disease. Hers perhaps might be something connected to her heart? Or her bones? Whatever the case though, there is a secondary reason related to that why she joins him. She wants access to the same physical enhancements the rest of his group have to neutralize or at least weaken her illness. The technology that created Kamukura having been democratized and more widespread across the multiverse.
He indulges this request. On the condition that she complete one last test, and take out the two individuals she'd been training to kill back in her home verse. Honestly he finds the whole vendetta a little childish, being like "Oh, those guys", remembering a long forgotten episode of his life where he killed his verse's Despair Sisters. Which was just another job for him. But he plays along. And ramps up the difficulty by warning the sisters in advance. Naturally of course Nagiko is pissed after having completed the job, as she lies on an infirmary bed. With her "brother" channeling Death in Terry Pratchett's 'The Hogfather'.
"You warned them I was coming."
"Well obviously. It was a test. It was meant to be educational."
"I lost my fucking right leg! I had to blow it off with a shotgun after they caught it in a trap!"
"And that was an important lesson."
In the end though she still gets rewarded for her accomplishment with the same enhancements to her body as the other members of the group. Not gaining all the talents + combat knowledge of a Kamukura, but now having their inhuman strength, speed, and stamina. As well as alleviating her illnesses somewhat. But it all ends on a rather bittersweet note. With Nagiko slowly realizing that despite her affection for her mentor "big brother", this is not a healthy sibling relationship at all. It occurs to her that she's starting to mirror Mukuro somewhat. And the assassination mission she went on ended up alienating her from her verse's Chiaki and the others. Eventually she decides to call it quits, and flees the group to strike out on her own.
Oooo backstories!! LIQUID SNAKE?!?! I'M SORRY I CAN'T TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY WITHOUT CRACKING UPAHAHAHHAHA JUST THE MENTAL IMAGE- the snake stole Tsumugi's cosplay wig or some sheet, OH NEVERMIND THIS GOT DARK REAL QUICK- part of the Kamukura project?!?! Ohh he a rebell!!!! Good for him!! Go snake guy- AHHHH THEY SIBLINGS I LOVE SIBLING BONDSS!!
Yep I can't argue with that, he seems really ill I can imagine the other variants having some sort of illness even if it's not the same one, maybe a branch or something completely different.. oh a heart or bone illness?!?! NAGIKO NUU- OHHH THAT MAKES SENSEEE!! SHE DESERVES THE WORLD OKAY!!
Oh no she have to kill in turn- actually this is the apocalypse of course people gonna die, WHAT?! HE TELLS THEM IN ADVANCE 💀💀 No offense to him but Nagiko get them both!! Him and the Despair sisters honestly!! Yeah no wonder she's mad!! CONFRONT HIM GIRL!! Oh NO HER RIGHT LEGG!! AHHHH the parallels though!!!! Maybe she'd get a robotic leg or something ehe
YASS SHE GOT AN UPGRADE!! LESSGOO SHE got them strength!! She got them stamina!! Atleast it somewhat helps her illness even if it's not a complete cure- oh no.. THAT'S SO SADDDD AGHHH, And now she calls it quits and is on her own WHY YOU GOTTA HURT ME LIKE THAT ANON?!?! actually she does meet up with the other two Nagitos so all is well am I right<33 💝💝
Whats you're opinion on how Natsumi is written in P4 + D2?
Natsumi's was great, but could use a bit more sass (probably just me lol), I did like her a lot though!! The way you right everyone in general is just amazing!! Like how you wrote Izuru is just, OR MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE HIYOKO- SHE'S AMAZING, THE LORE IN THIS COMIC IS EVERYTHING TO ME!! LIKE YOU COULD GO PLACES WITH THIS AND ALSO TSUMUGI HAS TO BE ONE OF MY FAVOURITES OH Akane was amazing here!! And Sonia swearing was so funny I love her, GAHH I GOT CARRIED AWAYY AGAIN ehehe but I liked her here!! not one of my favourites in this because of the other characters and their personalities but Natsumi supremacy 🩷🩷
Nagitos of all kinds pop up in the gathering. Nagitos from non-Despair verses, AUs, gender-flipped Nagitos, even a small handful of Nagizurus/Kamukura Nagitos. Like the Komahina club for example will have some FemNagitos that are in yuri Komahina relationships (or FemNagito x Hajime, Nagito x FemHajime, or even non-binary Komahina).
And of course the Nagitos from verses with a version of the Tragedy compare notes with those from non-Despair verses. The Komaegi Nagitos from non-Despair verses feel so vindicated learning from their counterparts that their boyfriend became the Ultimate Hope in other universes, being like "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL!". The Komaegi Nagitos and Matsukoma Nagitos in general are a wee bit braggadocious about having won the love of Makoto and Yasuke. And take pride in having some exclusivity.
Though things get really funny when they learn how things went in class swap verses (where Chiaki, Hajime, or even Nagito himself became the THH scenario's protagonist). And are shown footage of Despair Makoto. They all start fanning themselves and going "Oh my!" because of just how very...captivating he is. Especially if there's some foe yay going on between Despair Makoto and Protagonist Nagito.
Most of the clubs have their own variant of "Octagon!". Like with those prior three, the Kuzukoma Nagitos giggle at the thought of Fuyuhiko being grumpy and shouting "Dumbass!". The Komazumi Nagitos get all dreamy at the idea of Mahiru with her hands on her hips and going "Geez!". And the Twokoma Nagitos are like "Does your Imposter wag their finger and say 'Nagito, no' to you too?", to which they're like "YES, LMAO!!"
The Komahinanatsusatozumi Nagito we talked about earlier is like a weird celebrity among them. Most polyship Nagitos will usually only be in a relationship with two people. Some Komahinanami Nagito will see him brandishing his Komahina, Komazumi, Natsukoma, and Komasato membership cards and be all...
"Gee Nagito, how come you get to have four relationships?"
"Six. Getting the paperwork for my Matsukoma and Kuzukoma memberships sorted out."
"Does the Natsumi in your universe know about you and her brother?"
"Yeah, she doesn't mind. After seeing so many universes with a Tragedy I'm only more certain now than ever that what we have is wonderful."
"Well, at least I know you'll never get to experience the joy of being a Komanami Nagito."
"Actually our verse's Chiaki and her girlfriend Mikan are thinking of joining our polycule. Sato invited Mikan."
"...Dammit."
OMG DESPAIR FREE VERSES, AJSBSJSJN Gender flipped Nagito!!!! That's so cool AHHHH YURI KMHN MY BELOVED, ooooo enby kmhn I need more of themmm BRUH THIS IS SO COOL, "I KNEW MAKOTO WAS SPECIAL" GAHHH MY HEART 💞💞 This is so amazing I don't know what to say!! Hahahha braggy Maeda, he would do that ehee OMG HIM AS THE PROTAG OOOOO THAT'S SOMETHINH WE NEVER KNEW WE NEEDED BUT DESERVE, hahahah how very captivating, just say you love him you dang poet hehe, there would beee!!
Haahhahah kzkm's one is accurate, MAHIRU WOULD, I CAN IMAGINE THEM DOING THAT LOL IMPOSTER WE LOVE YOU, well wow Nagito you went from a hopless romantic to having 4 people in a loving poly, LOOK AT YOU GOO!!<33 Six!! Tell him my guy, YEP Natsumi wouldn't mind!! Maybe they'd fight over him sometimes because aggressive blondes haha but it would be chill with her, YEAH NANAMIKI RIGHTS!!!! THEY GONNA BE THE BEST POLY EVER AND TAKE OVER THE WORLD OR SOMETHING I DUNNO I'M JUST HAPPY TO SEE HIM BE LOVED!! 💕💕 hahahah the remark though-
😭 Precious sketches, all of them! Thank you, aeymii!
NO THANK YOU ANON YOU'RE LITERALLY THE NICEST!! 😭😭
ShinOji, except Shinso genuinely can’t understand why Ojiro is in love with him and doesn’t see him as a bad person like other people who have been victim to his quirk do. How Shinso doesn’t understand why Ojiro is always so excited to see him, and wants to spend most of his time with the other.
How Ojiro doesn’t understand why Shinso is so hard on himself, and why the other can’t accept the love that he deserves. Ojiro, who just wants to show Shinso the bright side, and how truly amazing he is.
ShinOji, despite not being able to fully understand the other’s behaviour, love each other, and wouldn’t trade what they have for the world.

THE LETTER (by joud abu rashed)
Words: A single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing, used with others (or sometimes alone) to form a sentence and typically shown with a space on either side when written or printed. Words are a way to express one’s self, they show emotion, they might hurt someone, end relationships, start wars, they can be used as a weapon, since words are an important factor of both freedom and democracy, but most importantly words impact people, either negatively or positively depending on the situation. the war has ended a year ago marking a new age of democracy, it started since poverty was spreading like an illness due to the evils of monarchy so naturally the people protested their rights using their words but they weren’t heard the government was deaf to their pleas so a war eventually broke out in order to gain justice. Chaos and confusion that’s was how I lived after all I was a child an orphan who lost both parents and any sense of peace or security I ever had. I was lost, starving, with no will to live in this cruel world. Along with the bloodshed, something happened or rather someone came and rescued me.
His name was Ashton Arlert, He was a kind man with a heart of gold. He took me in, provided me with every necessity. He taught me how to read and write, how to use a gun and protect myself just in case I find myself in a difficult position, but most importantly he gave me a will, a will to live. After years of suffering the war ended which lead me to decide to live a normal life, so I moved out to pursue my own career as a ghostwriter in a small company. You see after the war there was a huge decrease in people who knew how to write, which meant ghostwriters (especially for letters) became widely popular. My job required me to listen to people, to observe and analyze their emotions then find the right words that fit the message they want to present. I had my own life, friends, responsibilities, etc yet Ashton never left my mind, he was like a father to me and I never showed him how much I appreciated what he had done towards me so I decided to write a letter to him. I was a professional writer with tons of experience yet I struggled with it (ironic isn’t it). For days and days all I would do is stare at an empty piece of paper with a cramped hand longing for words. Needless to say I was frustrated. I wrote and I wrote as if I was running out of time but nothing, just nothing. Everything I wrote would soon become another crumpled piece of paper in the trash, till one day while the smell of my morning coffee was mixing with the smell of ink coming from my pen I suddenly found the words that I longed for. I ran to the post office with the feeling of relief in my lungs and a hint of excitement in my eyes. It was a quite night when he received the wax sealed letter, he looked at the handwriting a sense of nostalgia flooded him. He held it with his wrinkled hands as he read it with tears flooding his ocean blue eyes. The letter simply said “Thank you, Ashton, for everything. Sincerely Nadia” A simple phrase that’s all it took to bring a grown man to tears.
Omg I’d love to see Tsunami or Glory redesigned!! Your Peril design is so clever I love it 💕
two people ( @emeralddragonparagon and indigo) requested Glory this week, so here she is! thank you guys so much for the overwhelming support for these designs :3 they really took off!
Glory's design was a little difficult but very rewarding! I wanted to design her to fit with the present day in wof, where she's been queen for a little while and had time to settle in + grow into her role. She has a green/brown crown that fits under her ears, as well as some layered beaded jewelry which are inspired by the Uth Duna outfit from Monster Hunter Wilds. I wanted to make her look more regal/royal than she currently does, so I used a lot of patterns on top of the accessories.
For her scales, I liked the idea of Glory's pattern alluding to her somewhat prickly personality from the first arc, as well as leaving traces of her friends in her design - a sun on her shoulder, water-like patterns on part of her wing, amber/brown talons etc... it would be nice if Glory presented her scales with them in mind, considering she doesn't get to see the other DoD often.
as always, my askbox is open! I'm hard at work going through your requests - check back every so often to see if your favorite character has been done yet, or feel free to leave a request!
That's a lot of blue!
I suddenly remembered that this template exists and felt like doing it with my favorite character in all of Fiction.
Making this was so fun omg. I went searching for the prettiest Tsunami designs I could find and you should check out their original creators! They're all wonderful artists

I have so many ideas for Electrifying Home, but I don't know how to write them in the story, and when I sit down to write it never comes to me...
Idk man it’s so easy to get bogged down in all the bullshit online but when my then-6 year old cousin found out I was trans he said “ok” then corrected my grandma when she misgendered me. I was once the third between a gay man and a lesbian. Two lesbians once invited me back to their place when I presented as a man. I met an AMAB nb butch who looked strikingly to outsiders like a cis man and it was one of the more sapphic experiences I’ve had. I nervously wore a boydyke shirt to pride and got 3 different cis-looking femme folks tell me they loved my shirt. I once told a trans group at a protest that any pronouns were fine for me and one person said “wow, I’m impressed and intimidated by people like that. I don’t know that I could be that chill with pronouns.” I once told a GNC friend I wished I could wear a type of “opposite” gender clothing after I had already transitioned and so it would be associated with my AGAB and he said “You could just do it.” I’ve had cishet men fight cops for me before. The first time I had a doctor ask me if my name was different than what was on my forms I had to try not to cry. Last week, a phone call with a doctor’s office where I am generally cis passing asked unprompted if my name listed is what I want to be called. It touched me then too. I told a lesbian friend once I felt like my attraction to men AND women both felt gay. She said “makes sense.” And we moved on. I go by different pronouns in different circles. I’ve had gay women love my facial hair. I’ve had gay men like my tits. It’s all out there, I promise. It can be hard to find it but I promise there is community like you and community who likes you. And it’s more messy and beautiful than tumblr discourse makes it out to be.
